Test

I had already planned where to train so standing in a clearing near the Uchiha compound, I began running. I started slow and began speeding up, I was surprised in a matter of seconds.

I ran faster and faster and eventually, I ran faster than I had ever done so in my past life yet I could speed up a bit more. As I pushed myself to the limits, my heart started to beat faster and faster and I was shocked by my own speed.

The route which I had planned to test my speed within was a few hundred meters yet before I knew it, I had reached the end of it.

I was fast. Way too fast. And I didn't even feel tired after it.

For a moment I wondered if I had tapped into the speed force due to saying the formula but a lack of lightning made me put that aside.

I took a moment to carefully think and realized I had run nearly 600 meters in less than a minute. It wasn't inhuman but it was impressive, 'So an academy student's body is at this level already, huh? What about stamina...'

I turned around and began running again, not stopping or resting, running at max speed to see how much I could before I got tired.

My body was like a well-trained machine, I didn't feel anything but pure excitement and joy at first, I was already in love with running like this. I began to sweat after 2-3 minutes. The cool air on my face felt very pleasant, a tingly warm feeling was everywhere in my body.

My lungs didn't burn as I expected them to, I could just run as I wanted. If I had known it was possible to feel this way by working out, I would have done it much more in my last life.

A few minutes passed.

I began to feel my leg muscles slowly get tired, I decided to stop despite not wanting to and wrote the results.

'Max speed roughly 10 meters per second... I can run around 10 minutes at max speed... This is great! I should be able to run a lot more if I run at 75% of my max speed... For an 11-year-old, this is insane...' I decided to put common sense and logic of Earth aside for good.

I pondered for a moment how fast a Chunin or Jonin would be if they ran without Chakra involved, the image of Gai popped into my head, a few seconds of thinking later, I decided it was pointless to think about it, better to go see it later if the chance came.

I found a nearby tree and took out a bunch of Shuriken and Kunai I had brought.

I inspected them thoroughly and stood ready to throw them. I drew a target on the tree and took a deep breath, feeling a little nervous.

The 1st problem I encountered was holding it to throw, I had no idea how to do it. I began thinking about how to go about it...

While I was thinking, without me noticing, my fingers moved on their own to hold the Shuriken naturally as if it had done so countless times.

I didn't notice that for a dozen seconds until I had decided on something. I was surprised to see the Shuriken being held so comfortably in my hand.

"How? Muscle memory, maybe? Wait a moment..." I muttered and began playing with the Shuriken. I tried not to think much about the details as I willed the Shurkine being moved from one hand to another. It was done so with high skill, my hands and fingers seemed to move on their own but the moment I focused too much on it, the balance was broken and I almost cut myself.

'This is good news!' I thought feeling overjoyed. Maybe I didn't have to train as hard as I had thought.

I just aimed and threw the shuriken, I could feel the muscles in my hand seemingly moving on their own. I had heard that when athletes trained something for very long, especially in combat, their bodies would move on their own at times, I never thought the previous Hiren Uchiha had trained to that point and even beyond for this kind of effect.

The Shuriken flew while making a low whistling sound in the air and hit the center of the target I had drawn.

I was impressed with myself, looking at my hands with excitement. It felt great.

I took a dozen Shuriken out and threw them one by one, each time getting more familiar with the feelings and movement of my muscles. It seemed I was relearning it extremely fast. Like someone who had done something for their whole life but lost their memory, relearning it would be easy for them.

I liked the feeling, it gave me a strange form of satisfaction each time I heard the Shuriken hitting the tree at the place I wanted it to. I tried the same with Kunai and it worked.

I moved on to two Shuriken, one in each hand, and the result was good. I tried holding two in one hand and the accuracy dropped a little, one hitting the target and one a little to the left. The more Shuriken in one hand, the less accurate I seemed to get. The limit was 4 Shuriken, one between each finger, all four hit near the target but none the target itself.

I could even give the Shuriken a curving path when I threw it hard enough. It wasn't hard for me to realize that my skill with Shuriken was going to be okay for stationary targets and passable for moving ones after training for two weeks. Mostly relearning things but maybe I could improve on them a little. This fixed one of my worries.

I practiced for an hour before deciding it was enough, the recent happening had given me an idea to try out.

I collected everything and put them inside the bag then approached the tree, admiring the cut marks on it left by the throwing weapons.

I looked up and jumped, letting my body do its own thing and not thinking much, mostly just focusing on how to climb and where to while extending my hands towards a branch. I jumped quite high to my surprise despite not putting much power into it, easily reaching the branch.

The trick seemed to work, my arms moved on their own and grabbed the branch then my feet followed as my arms pulled me in the branch's direction. I safely landed on it.

I gulped as I stood on the branch, If it was me of past life, I would have fallen for sure, the branch was too thin. But I didn't have a problem at all, it just came naturally to me. My balance was on another level.

I looked at a nearby tree and saw another branch and decided to see if I could get there. I jumped towards it, feeling confident in my balance and jumping power. I was pretty close to the ground so if I fell, nothing would happen thus I was not worried. My hand suddenly grabbed onto something. I panicked for a moment but there was no need for it.

My legs moved on their own and kicked the trunk as if they had done so many times before, I was flung forward to the tree and before I could think, I simply grabbed on something again and landed right where I wanted. It was done so naturally that only some leaves shook a little. I crouched while feeling a little shocked.

I gathered my courage and jumped again. I began to jump from one tree to another and land like an expert. I immersed myself in the feelings in my arms and legs and got familiar with them.

'I will get the hand of this in a few days...' I thought and jumped down, landing safely on the ground. I landed Ninja style, the height at which I was at before jumping down was at least 5 meters.

I began feeling more confident, I suddenly ran forward while putting my hands on the ground to do a front handspring, it felt too easy.

I continued...

Somersault, done.

Cartwheel, done.

I wiped my sweat and smiled, "This feels too good..."

I focused and ran as fast as I could, I put my hand on the ground and pushed hard to jump, I spun around myself mid-air while at the same time turning horizontally then did a backflip, landing perfectly.

My grin almost split my face in half, 'I never thought I would ever be able to do that... I guess it's time to try to feel Chakra and test Chakra control...'

I sat down under the shade of the tree I had practiced throwing things at and began.
